The New York Yankees could use a bit more diversity in the bullpen, which is why signing right-handed relief pitcher Ian Hamilton to a minor-league contract is quite interesting.
The Bombers only have one lefty bullpen piece in Wandy Peralta, which may pose problems for the squad this season unless they’ve completely dropped the narrative that having decent lefty arms is essential.
Hamilton, 27, spent last season with the Minnesota Twins, pitching just 2.2 innings at the major league level. He recorded a 6.75 ERA across the small sample size, spending much more time in AAA with their affiliate squads.
